I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how incredibly awesome you guys are. Searching for quality and variety is time consuming. We are always looking for new and unique plants and cut flowers and we always find great treasures with you. Your selection is incredible! We also very much appreciate the ease and speed of our orders. Its nice to know that one of the most important parts of what we do starts with where we get our seeds from and that the quality is good. It saves us a lot of time and money and helps us be completely confident on selection and viability of the seeds so thank you for being an important part of making our vision come to life.

I'm on my third order. I'm really happy. My first seedlings have already come out and some have even been transplanted into larger pots. There are even plants that I had difficulty finding, and I found them on your site. A big thank you to you! And surely a future order in 2026

I got these pretty quickly and in perfect order. I can't wait to see what they look like once I plant them. I have another colour and they were so pretty I had to try these. I have used this seller a few times now with great success, and will again. Everything I have ordered has been of good quality!

I was apparently one of their first international customers. The seeds were well packed and labeled. The seeds also arrived quite fast to my country. Terry, was a very great help.
I waited this long to post since I had only recently planted my seeds and they successfully germinated.
Also wanted to add that this seller is one of the only ones selling legitimate cymbopogon nardus(the actual citronella plant) seeds.

I spent about a month designing my border and cottage gardens while it was raining and snowing. I made a list of the flowers and now I started to shop for my seeds. I went to all the usual seed retailers and could not get much of what I wanted. I thought I was going to have to shop online in the USA which is against my principles in this environment we find ourselves. THEN I FOUND YOU! Thank you for being there for me on two fronts: I fully completed my list and I shopped Canadian. It's been a really good day. Thank you

I had a herbarium project with a short deadline. Ferri Seeds were professional, friendly and sent me Alstroemeria seeds promptly. The seeds arrived in a protective sleeve within a letter envelope. The herbarium is complete! I highly recommend Ferri Seeds! Thank you!

I have a “wild “ garden , and love to bring in grasses and flowers with the unique shapes and subtle colours I see in nature. My plant references are often gardens in the UK and Europe where there is a tremendous diversity of plants available, that were previously not accessible in Canada. Thank- you so much, Ferri Seeds , for opening up my garden world .

I was looking for a local, reputable company to buy seeds from and was very pleasantly surprised at their selection and pricing. I found more on this site than I could on bigger name brands. I'm very pleased to be able to have gotten exactly what I wanted and not have to compromise with a bigger company. Will definitely be purchasing again, especially love the more rare varieties offered.

The pictures and reviews caught my attention and thus my order. I also am determined to buy Canadian and after seeing that you ship from Toronto sealed the deal. Buy locally, provincially or nationally will be my modus operandi for the foreseeable future

Planted the Drosera sessilifolia seeds in March. Took a couple of months but they sprouted in May. Out of the 10 seeds, about 8 or 9 came up. Tiny but cute! Thanks!

I ordered several seeds packets from Ferri Seeds and they all arrived in a safe little box, with each type in a plastic baggie or glossy paper pouch. The seeds were good quality and some have already germinated! I had a question as a follow up and they responded over the weekend! Would buy from them again in the future.

I ordered Herniaria seeds from you and they arrived quite quickly. I started them on June 27 and they are germinating now (5 days)! I am so pleased. I had ordered the same from a company in Asia and absolutely nothing happened. I am so happy to have found your company - and it is CANADIAN. I will be putting in another order - as soon as I have looked at your complete catalogue. It is very extensive and the photos are wonderful. For the past three years I have been growing coleus from cuttings and from seed and you have varieties that are not readily available. Thank you.

All 3 seeds sprouted and now they are outside already. As you can see on the picture I didn’t give it too much fate so I just planted them in a bunch and now all tree of them are growing fast. Now I wish I planted them separately!

We placed our order on Thursday and received it on Monday. Here in Canada the tracking link is accurate. Ferri seeds tells you when they're shipping and when your order is delivered, the seeds arriving in excellent condition. We will definitely be ordering again this spring. Keep up the good work!

My order, made late afternoon, April 27th, and needed in a bit of a rush, was mailed next morning and arrived in my rural mailbox in BC, May 5th.
Thank you for your cheerful, friendly emails and prompt service. I certainly recommend you others and will be sure to keep an eye on the range of seeds you offer in future.

I happened across Ferri Seeds website when I Googled a particular plant I’d been looking for. I was impressed by their selection of all types of seeds and their good product descriptions along with detailed germination instructions. I found the site and ordered on a Saturday. On Sunday I got a notice that my order had been shipped! The seeds were in my P.O. box on Friday. Such amazing service. It’s too early to comment on germination rates — I’ve just started the stratification process today.

I ordered seeds and noticed after submitting that my postal code was incorrect, my fault. I contacted Ferri and was responded to right away even though they had no power. They thanked me for my understanding, as they had indicated there may be a delay. I got the seeds within 5 business days, very well packaged with detailed instructions on the back. So happy, can't wait to see results. Also happy it is Canadian!
